Based on a personal web site at http://www.users.quest.net/~rae.4332/flags.html (no longer available), developed by an inhabitant of Palau, which shows the flags of all the 16 states of Palau.  According the census Ngarchelong has an area of 10 sq. km, a population of 253 inhabitants, and the capital is Imeong.

According to http://pacificdigitallibrary.org, blue stands for love of mankind, peace and prosperity. White stands for trust in peace. Red stands for perseverance without limitation. The seven stripes symbolize the original seven municipalities forming Ngarchelong. The eight shining stars represent the today's eight municipalities, now unified under a wise and enlightened government, as symbolized by the circular pattern of the stars.
